Last time I was in the Meadow Bar (to see Kunt & the Gang) there was some really good reggae and dubby stuff playing downstairs. When I asked the DJ about the amazing voice in one record, he told me the girl's name was Soom T and well worth checking out.
Gotta agree! I was halfway to being wankered by the time I got out of Kunt, so I can't remember exactly what I heard, but everything on the Myspace is worth a listen.
It's an eclectic mix of glitchy reggae, jaunty folk, and big beats with sweet vocals. She's collaborated with lots of folk I love and lots more folk I'm gonna be checking out ;)
Fave tracks are probably What Is Life (with King Creosote), Dirty Money (with Jahtari 8-bit reggae soundsystem), Don't Forget To Wake Up (Asian Dub-esque), and Net In A Circle (atmospheric glitchyness about "when the drugs are done dancing").
What Is Life
Dirty Money
And lots lots more to click thru on Youtube. Have a look!
